A reusable bag incorporating a foldable support structure, used for containment of item(s) for carrying by a person, comprising a bag made of a flexible, durable material removably attached to a pair of essentially U-shape, semi-rigid support members, that extend under opposite ends of the bag and up opposite sides at an angle which causes them to intersect just above the mouth of the bag where they are swingably attached to a rigid handle which straddles the mouth of the bag. Attached to the inside of the bag is a rigid bottom panel which lies horizontal on the bottom of the bag when in use and drops to a vertical position when the bag is inverted for folding. Two closure straps with snaps, located on one end near the top edge of the bag whose corresponding snap components are located on the opposite end, are used to maintain the bag in a folded condition. By virtue of this configuration, this bag is free-standing and stable whether empty or full, and may be folded flat when not in use.
